Karuna Trust Chairman honored

Mr. Mahinda Karunarathne was honored with the “Rajarata” Golden Citizen award presented by the North Central province of Sri Lanka for his social service to the country. The President of Sri Lanka, Mr. Maithripala Sirisena, made the occasion even more grandiose by attending the awards ceremony to commemorate Mr. Karunarathne’s achievement. Though several other citizens were also recognized for various categories in the same ceremony, Mr. Karunarathne was commended for wonderful philanthropic efforts in the province such as the restoration of large irrigation tanks, building houses for the poor, facilitating scholarships for school children, and building schools.

Helping the recent flood victims in Sri Lanka

A tropical storm in the Bay of Bengal brought heavy rains across the country, triggering flash floods and deadly landslides. The floods claimed 151 lives, leaving thousands of families homeless in the Western, Southern, and Sabaragamuwa provinces. More than 111 people are still reported missing as of May 29, 2017.

Since most of the broadcasting stations have started collecting clothes, food and drinking water etc., we are conducting medical camps with the support of a few doctors lead by Dr. Asela Abeydeera, one of trustees of Karuna Trust.

We kindly request your assistance in providing essential medicines and services to needy people.
